N. B. III'IIR, Itii.lncs, .Uannser, They Were Not Bribed The Titnes-Uuion, Jacksonville scouts the idea that the Judges were bribed in the drill at the Sttb-Tropi cal. Referring to this charge made by the Atlanta Rifles, also to the charge thnt the first check for the §2,000 prize was made out for the Rifles, and that the Cadets would have to sue for the money,—if they get it—the T.-U. says: To prove the absurdity of the whole story as told by the Rifles in Atlanta one has only to read what “Treasurer "Hes3 is reported to have said. The treasurer of the Sub-Tropical expose tion is J. M. Schumacher, the custo dian of the citizens’ fund, John X. C Stockton. No man named Hess has anything to do with the drill or its finances. The judges made up their decision aud left it with the Sub- Tropical officials. There was no chango in it whatever, after it was made. The checks were handed over to the winners of the prizes at origi ually made out. The Macon Cadets have uothing to sue for, aud “Trcas urer" Hess, whoever lie may be, can refuse to pay the check till the ciack of doom and it will make no difler- encc. In further explanation of the fail ure of the Rifles to secure the prize, it may be said that the omission by Capt. Spencer of two orders on the drill-program reduced their average below that of the Cadets. This error was not apparent, to the audience, for none of them had the drill-program before them. The judges were in duty bound to reduced the Rifles’ score by reason of Captain Spencer’s two blunders. The Rifles should lick at their captain—not at the judges. The story that the judges were “bribed by gamblers” is too absurd nud too childish to be discussed. A cyclone out West the other day blew everything away except the mortgage on ' the place. That was locked up in a bank vault. Refer ring to the freaks of the average W estern cyclone, the Times-Union, Jacksonville, says: "It must be galling to a western man who secs his real estate swept clean of personal property by a cy clone, to reflect that the mortgage remains intact and drawing interest exactly as fast as if nothing had hap pened.” "The Pan-Americans will start on their Southern tour on Friday night. Augusta, Atlanta, Macon and Bruns wick are happy. In not visiting Sa vannah they will miss seeing one of the most beautiful cities in the .South; and iu not coming to Tkoruasvillc they will not see the most popular health resort in the south, and one of the cleanest, most progressive and healthiest Cities on the continent. The effects on the people, of the high-handed proceeding of our repub lican congress, arc exemplified by the result of the late election at Helena, Montaua, where a democratic majori ty of 303 was rolled up iu place of the former republican majority of 500. For congress to set aside the will of a majority is a despotic expe dient.—Times-Union, Jacksonville N. Council Proceedings. April 14, 1890. Council met in regular session, Mayor Hopkins presiding. Aldermen Wright, Patten, Mitchell, Merrill, Wise and Hayes present. Minutes last meeting read and con firmed. The following communication from citizens of Fletcherville was rend: To lliv Magw and I 'onnvil of Tliomas— villi', fin: We, the citizens residing in Fletch erville, respectfully petition your body to authorize the Electric Eight Co., to locate an incandescent light at the corner of Wm.

Parnell’s residence, and one over Fletcher street, in front ofthe hotel known as “Wolcott Ilall.” Your petitioners further show that there arc no lights on Jackson street beyond the railroad, and as they arc citizens of the city of Thomnsville, contributing to the support of the gov ernment by the payment of taxes, they feel they arc entitled to share in its privileges. They further show that they have conferred with the manage ment of said company, and they have stated they will not incur the expense of extending their wires for a less number of lights than these mention ed.
